About

 
NORTH COUNTRY CINEMA is a director-driven media arts collective based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Since 2005, we have produced numerous short and medium length films and videos that have won awards and garnered critical acclaim at international film festivals across the world. Our mandate is to contribute to the Canadian cultural and artistic landscape through the creation of diverse and original works of film, video, and related media.

As a collective, we are actively involved in numerous projects being produced across Canada. Our regular team is composed of the following members:
